Voivod's best!

Absolutely the BEST Voivod release. Nothingface runs a very close second, but DH is their shining moment. My only problem is the fact that it hasn't been remastered yet. What the....? November 29, 2007

4.5 the best

This is VoiVods 'white album'. Excellent raw energy on this follow up to "Killing Technology". Best songs: "Macro Solutions.." , "Brainscan", "Tribal Convictions" and "Cosmic Drama".
They were never able to recapture this cds off the wall riffs and out-of-this-world vibe that they established here. After this they went to the decent but over-polished "Nothingface".. May 7, 2007

Warning! There be cybernetic dragons here!

Years ago I had a friend that told me while he was in my car I could play any music I wanted except for Voivod. This included Slayer, Exodus, Death Angel and various other bands which many would consider loud and obnoxious. Voivod is defiantly not for everyone. That being said Nothingface is one of my favorite CDs. You have to approach it with an open mind however. You aren't going to get a single catchy riff or even a single tempo that flows throughout each song. In the world of Voivod things change fast and very often quite unexpectedly. As a matter of fact this was my friend's complaint. He would find a grove he liked only to have it knocked out from under him. He just couldn't take it. Also the music is chuck full of dissonance. And I'm not talking about a chord here and there. It literally permeates most of the music. The vocals have a sort of punk quality to them so if you are expecting operatic or cookie monster vocals look elsewhere. The lyrics lean heavily towards freakishly bizarre science fiction which given the music fits exceptionally well. In fact I whenever I listen to Nothingface or Dimension Hatros my reaction at the end is something like "WOW I survived!". So if you want to hear something unique than go for it, but don't expect your standard metal band cuz these guys are anything but standard. PS: Piggy RIP.... July 24, 2006

Just another part of the evolution process!

Voivod learned how to write songs as they realeased each album. If you listen to the albums in order of their release "Dimension Hatross was their best (most progressive) and crisp production. I first heard them on the album that came before(Killing Technology)I had never heard guitar chords like that. I had a friend of mine put it in my cars cassette player. I felt like I was on another planet. But Dimension was the first one I bought. I got it when it was first released. And it still is my favorite Voivod album. If I had heard Nothinface first I probably would have said it was my favorite. Three mandatory albums are these three. This Cd has a version of the Batman theme that was not on the cassette. While everyone was playing power chords Voivod were doing something different. And they stayed true. Either you Love them or not. They are one of my favorites since I first got into Rush. When you get sick of the same old same old listen to this album. BUY IT! I promise you that there isn't anything else like it.True Techno Metal!!! January 28, 2006
